Some also explain his ability to transform into a Super Saiyan is due to genetics. Whatever the reason, Goten displays exceptional power at a young age, rapidly increasing his strength. The ease at which he does so has been a matter of controversy seeing how it took years for Goku, Vegeta, and to a lesser extent Gohan to obtain and master the technique.

When Gohan asked how his transformation occurred, Goten said that he could not remember. Chi-Chi first discovers that Goten can become a Super Saiyan at only seven-years-old while training him. Goten is incredibly strong as a child, far stronger than both Goku and Gohan ever were at his age. When he becomes an adult, he prefered to trade training and fighting for dating and peace, but remains a warrior to help his father and friends in combat. Goten is shy, carefree, and overly naive like any other child, but he does display determination and fighting spirit when he is in combat. Chi-Chi trained him in martial arts instead (possibly due to his early resemblance to Goku, who was deceased at the time). The reason to this is never fully explained.

Goten was not pushed into school as much as Gohan was by their mother. Goten was conceived before the final battle with Cell and was born shortly after the Cell Games Saga, and had not met his father Goku, who died in the Cell Games, until he was seven-years-old. Goten is the second son of Chi-Chi and Goku, and younger brother to Gohan.

5.2 Unlike Goku he skipped Super Saiyan Level 2.
